WILL STRENGTHEN NEBRASKA STATUTE Recent Decision of Swu Court Gives Foree to Meve to Drive t and Fake (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Dec. 16 —(Special.)—C. F. Sentloy of Grand Island, secretary of Btate League of Local Bullding and Loan assoclations; G. W. ILininger, Colonel Elmer E. Bryson of the governor's staft and Thomas J. Fili & of Omaha were 1o Lincoln today conferring with Attormey General Prout on legislation in regard to NBome insurance compantee. 1t is the de- sire of these gentlemen to have presented to the legislature a bill giving the state banking board control over companies that carry on & saving proposition or collect money for savin Mr. Bentley was especially elated with the decision of the supreme court in the case of the Nebraska Home Insurance company, and he expects the attorney eral to secure the same kind of a decitton against the Northwestern Trust company, agalnst which a suit has been started in Adams county. The only difference be- tween the companies, it is sald, is that the former had a $1,000 proposition and latter bas a $3,000 proposition. As a result of the decision of the Nebraska companies in Missourl and in Illinols and Loulsiana, action will soon be started in Oblo and Maine and Indiana to exclude the companies. Mr. Bentley believes the leg- islature will do something that will foree the companiés from the state. Premium on Stuefer's Bond Among the appropriations that will be asked for at the next legislature will be $3,000 to relmburse State Treasurer Stue- fer for the amount he had to pay the two guarAnty companies for his bond as state treasurer. Mr. Stuefer, in order to handle the moneys of the state, is under a $1,500, 000 bond, guaranteed by the companies of Baltimore. For this bond he has to pay 000 annually. The cost of the bond for the first year was appropriated by the leg- islature, when the cost of the bond for the last year of the term of Meserve was ap- propriated. Meserve was the first state treasurer to give a guaranty bond, and at that time the cost was $i,500, which tha legislature paid for him. When Stuefer was elected to the office the companies raised the price of the bond to $3,000. Th» ealary of the state treasurer is only $2,500 & year, consequently Mr. Stuefer belleve: that the legislature will allow him the cost of the bond. Bad Lemon Extract. Food Commissioner C.

A committee of the students waited on the hard-hearted livery- men to get them to come back to the old price, but the liverymen refused. The reason given for the increased price is the students’ demand that the liverymen put rubber tires on the rigs. Rubber tires called for a rub-up in the prices, sald the liverymen, snd there the matter rests. Foot Ball F Jobn R. Bender has been elected captain of the university foot ball team for the next. season. The mew captain is a junior and during the last two seasons played a ro- markable game of foot ball as halfback.

The board will meet t Monday night to select a manager of | the team for the coming season. Three | names have been submitted—George Shid- ler, H. T. Parker and Roy Bicktord. Shutting O All Games. There will be nothing doing in the way of games in the various saloons.of the city after January 1. Chlef of Police Hoagland this morning served written notices on all saloon keepers to hustle from their ba rooms all billiard tables, pool, klondike or | other tables on which games could be played—craps not excepted. This rule was | adopted by the excise board last April and will go into effect without fall January 1 The penalty is $100 fine for each violation | of the law. Freight Traln Wreeked. Several cars of a freight Unfon Pacific about two miles south of the penitentiary were thrown from the | tracks about 9 o'clock last night and it re- | quired fifteen hours' time to repair the| damage to the tracks and start trafc | sgain. The breaking loosé of an arch bar | on one of the trucks tore up the tracks for | & balf mile and caused three of the cars to leave the tracks before it was discov- ered. No one was Injured. All trains to Beatrice were held here until 1 o'clock to- day while the track was rebuilt. Douglas County Hond CUawe. o policin insurance. | train on the| The mandamus suit brought by J. Y.

The auditor refused to register the bond because | the law under which it was issued is in- valid. Niles claims that even if the law is invalid there is a prior law in force which the supreme court had held to be constitutional, and that therefore the act of the commissioners in refunding the bond was ley The purpose of this suit is to determine | the vaildity of several thousand dollars' worth of refunding bonds issued by the county comissioners at the same time that the bond held by Niles was issued. The bonds taken up were issued to ald in the construction of the Omaha & Southwestern Railroad company in 1877, and bore 8 per cent, while the refunding bonds bore only 5 per cent. The value of the bonds has been affected by the uncertainty as to the lidity of the act under which they were issued in exchange for the old bonds. This suit will settle the question as to their validity. Creditors’ Rights Involved. A case of some interest to holders of bemeficiary certificates was submitted to commission No, 2 this afternoon. The case involves the right of creditors of the member of an order to the proceeds of a certificate on his life. Leon Richardson of Seward county, holding a certificate In the Modern Woodmen of America for $2,000, dled & year ago. This called for the pay- ment of the certificate. When he died he was In debt to the amount of several hun- dred dollars. The officers of tfie soclety were unable to find the heirs of Richard- son. The creditors had an administrator appointed and made application to the treasurer of the ‘order to have the pro- ceeds applied on the' indebtedness, when they learned that no heirs had been found. The officers refused to pay anything, set- ring up that the statute under which the association did business in the state provides “‘payment of death benefits shall only be made to families, heirs, blood re- Iations, afanced husband or afanced wife, or to persons dependent upon the mem- ber.” Suit was brought by the creditors in the district court. The court decided adversely to the claimants and the case was appealed to the supreme tribunal. The creditors, in thelr brief, declare that the case is an ex- ception to the statute, because thgre are no relatives. It is sald that the statute applies ouly where there are relatives and is intended for the protection of the homes of the members, and when the reason for its existence is gone the proceeds of the certificate ought to go to the creditors. For that reason it is claimed that there is a resulting trust in favor of the creditors and against the Modern Woodmen. To this plea the association makes an- swer that there is no assurance that the heirs are non-existent. That the mssocia- tion has been holding the momey for the heirs and is still making search for them tute did not bar payment the creditors until sufclent time had elapsed to give rise to the presumption that there were no relatives within the degreo in the statute for beneficiaries under fraternal beneficiary policies. Vilas Will Not Talk Polities. Hon. Willlam F. Vilas, postmaster gen- eral under Cleveland, will appear before the supreme court Wednesday as counsel for the detendant in the case of Tunni- Fox. The suit originated in Douglas county and involves property in Cheyenne county. Mr. Vilas arrived in Lincoln this evening and muny citizens called upon him at the Lincoln hotel to- night. He would not discuss politics. Relief Corps Flects Oficers.

CREAMERY COMPANIES MERGE York and Fairmont Concerns Unite to Form One Big Corpo tion, (Special.)—Trans- fers were made yesterday, deeds and bills of sale were filed in York county, deeding and transferring all real.estate and per- sonal property of the South/Platte Creamery company of York, one of the largest cream- ery companies In the state, to the Fairmont Creamery company. The consideration amounts up into the thousands. It is not an actual sale to the Fairmont' Creamery company, but is a consolidation of the two large companies. Many other smaller com- panies will be taken in by these companies, making it one of the largest creamery com- panies in the United States, and active com- ‘petitors of the Beatrice company, which is claimed to be the largest in the United States, Stockholders in creamerles claim that it is the most profitable investment that can be made and pays much better than any bank stock. It is reported that the Beatrice Creamery stock paid within the last year nearly 80 per cent. Many York county farmers favor an independent mutual creamery on about the same plan of the Farmers' York County independent elevat- ors, which are so successfully operated in this county. York county farmers are so prosperous that they can furnish the cap- ital and any amount of it for anything that they wish to buy or operate.

Officers of the company are leaving today for Omaha, where they will see the proper officlals and it they cannot recelve fair treatment from the Elkhorn. Their grain bins are full and farmers have had to stop threshing | machines. They think it pretty hard to have to stop taking grain when the com- | pany elevators are taking in grain right along and are receiving cars. BENEDICT, Neb., Dec. 16.—(Spectal.)— ! Elevator men on the Kansas City & Omaba railroad complain that since the road has been operated by the Burlington it is harder work to get cars than under the 0ld management.
